Hmm... not the only one

I’ve been catching up on some blogs this morning and it seems like I’m not the only one that had a miserable day yesterday or was “bad” on the weekend. Seems like something is in the air! But regardless of the scent in the air, the mood in the crowd, I did much better yesterday and feel good today. A day of junk (Sunday), makes Monday a crappy feeling day. I also have a headache that started on Sunday and still is sitting there today. It’s like having half a migraine as it is only affecting the left side of my head – I hate them and although I don’t get them often, they bug me when they happen. Unfortunately I suffer from headaches often (just not this type).

I ate fairly well yesterday and when I got home I weighed myself – bad idea on most days but what it confirmed was that I was holding water weight in the morning – cause for the 4lb gain because at the end of the day, I was down 2 lbs (even with food sitting in my belly) and this morning back to what I should have been in the first place. Yeah!

So even with the headache, I did my strength training yesterday, and 2 mile walk to the train station. Did not do anything else during the day. I was going to walk home from the train at the end of the day but the wind picked up and it started to rain. I had just taken my umbrella out of my back pack just that morning so I should have known it was going to rain :) . When I got home, I made my dinner of spaghetti squash mixed with WW spaghetti with a couple of Tbs of Parmesan cheese. I’d never tried it before and had everything in my fridge, so threw it together and had a small bowl. It was quite good. But it did not have any protein and I need my protein – so the next time I make it, I’ve got to throw some meat on the side. Since I was so tired by 8:00, I went to bed pretty early. 4:00 a.m. comes pretty fast you know and most days I only get around 6 hours of sleep – it’s no wonder that by Friday’s I’m just beat. And the BF came to bed around 2:30 and then spent the next hour snoring so I’m glad I went to bed early – I at least got some sleep in before he came along.

This morning, I got my daughter up early to drive me to the train station so I could come downtown and meet my Learn to Run partner so we could run along the river. As soon as I got on the train, I read her note on my BB stating she couldn’t make it. Humph…. I dropped off my gear at work and went running by myself. It was good for me to go through this. I have not run by myself yet. I’ve always felt self conscience and so have only run with someone else. I always had the fear that everyone I passed was saying “oh look at the fat girl run” but this morning I discovered, NO ONE CARES!!! Only me. So in the end I’m glad she cancelled and I had to run on my own. I have gotten over my “self consciousness” and will now hit the roads when I feel like it instead of putting it off because I didn’t have anyone to run with. My camping weekends are set now yahoo !! Silly I know….

So today is going to be a good day for me and I truly hope all of you have a fantastic day!
